What I've noticed is we use it in two ways "Which anime" and "What kind of anime".
The 2nd kind is more like how Japanese people use it, it parallels "What kind of movie do you like?"
The 1st way is more like "Which CD do you like?"
I agree with your prognosis of the western view of anime.
Perhaps for a long time there wasn't much selection available so it was either all or nothing. Just a guess.
